I doubt google will come out with an official car dock. Firstly there is the problem that most people probably use cases (especially in the case of the glass nexus 4) that wouldn't be compatible with it. And then, they're already late with it so by the time they come out with the darned thing, we will be anticipating the next nexus.

I normally don't trust suction cups either. I have a generic "heavy duty" mount that I use in my Jeep that works great and uses a suction cup. It is the only one I have found that can actually hold my phone without it falling out regardless of the terrain I'm on.

I would be shocked if there was an official dock for the phone. Nothing to do with cases or anything else, but the fact that there is no car mode in 4.2 means Google will probably never release an official dock.

at 0:35 they have a car dock thing on xda they're thinking its going to be wireless charging also. To me looks like almost like the generic car mount but it would be released looks like by lg for the nexus 4. :O

The last car mount I purchased was the official Samsung dock for the SGS2 and that was a suction mount with a smooth coaster-like mounting pad. Of course I refuse to stick anything permanently to my dash. So, I found a PVC fitting about the same outside diameter as the inside diameter of the console cup holder. I put the smooth pat on that and keep it in the cup holder. It really works very well and that's where I intend to fit the new mount for the N4.

You guys looking for phone specific holders / mounts should realize that they nearly always never work when you have a case on it (I seem to remember a Motorola dock being the exception). You're almost always better off going with a universal type mount, imho, in case you change cases or phones.

Saying that, I'll post the one I used and recommend whenever these mount threads are posted:

My girlfriend uses this mount with arkon's mega grip holder with her GS3. I used the pictured mobile grip; I like it's smaller footprint. If you plan on putting a thick case on the N4, take a look at the slimgrip, which is at the end of the video.

I have a custom mount from a company called Kuda. They make them for specific car models. You can attach any clamp to it that you like, I went with what I could find at the store, with a little ingenuity. It's been working great for me so far, and it works regardless what phone I have, or if I want to use my GPS.
